THE CROWN PRINCE.
The latest report from the medical
gentlemen identified with the case of
the Crown Prince, Frederick William is
that the treatment adopted has
proved absolutely successful. He is
i'd to be going to Ems to recruit his
health. His English physician, DR..
Mackenzie, declares that a cure has
been effected.
DIR. Heinrich, the well-known anti
semitist, has decided to quit Berlin
and go to America.
The chief topic of interest in Berlin,
after the French situation, is the un
ceasing
DEPRECIATION OF RUSSIAN STOCKS.
The fact is now recognized by both
political and financial circles, that the
movement is nots lobby of spectators,
put has a definite official inspiration,
and is part of government campaign
of retaliation against the Russian anti
German economic policy. During the
last fortnight the fall in Russian secur-
tiles of all issues averaged fully per
cent. The fall would have been even
greater but for the receipt of some
stop" orders and orders to buy. These
combined for time to stay the de
chases have been made daily
hU II ont
These purchases, however, have proved
insufficient to check the sales, and even
to-day, wien the Bourse was at its
dullest, the investors combined to IN
load their Russian holdings in large
quantities, causing
STILL FURTHER DECLINE
IN prices. The champions of Russian
securities acknowledged themselves
beaten, and accept the situation with
the best grace possible. The dealers
are convinced that the sales of the Rus
sion securities will not cease until they
fall beneath even the present nominal
value, when London and Paris
will show readiness to absorb them.
This economic duel between Paris and
Berlin does not. meantime, seem to at
fecl the political relations of Berlin and
st. Petersburg; but official advices, on
the contrary give expression to exas-
peration of ministers of the Gar, at the
decisive check which the Russian credit
has experienced. 1t has even put stop
to the negotiations of the new CONVEX
sion loan, which was contemplated
on q gigantic scale, and which
government hoped to effect through
German capitalists, thus placing the
finances OF Russia on sounder basis.
The Russian application to the Paris
Rothschilds to take up the financial
projects dropped by the German houses
WILL NOT SUCCEED.
The return of economic friendship will
not be assisted by the latest Russian
order, dismissing all Germans employed
in the commercial and banking firms in
Riga, st. Petersburg, Moscow and else
where IN Russia, nor the governments
refusal to adopt the concurrent
edict of the professor of the
Dorpat University, that it would
be unwise. henceforth, to adopt
the exclusive Russian language
in the classes, which refusal caused the
professors, without exception, to
resign. The enforcement of the govern
ment's edict will be postponed for three
years, but after that the last German
school in the Baltic provinces will to
